CI magazine’s editors wrote of the top firms: “These companies own the markets in which they’re listed as top five integrators, but that doesn’t mean they dominate in terms of market share. It’s their approaches and grasps of the market that are dominant.”

It’s very gratifying for CCS to be included into the class of commercial integration industry leaders. It’s a testament to the hard work of our team members and to our great clients. After all, it’s awesome working on commercial integration projects for leading companies in the hotel/hospitality market like Ritz-Carlton and Florida’s Ponte Vedra resort.

Besides highlighting our commercial integration work in the hospitality market, the magazine’s editors also announced leaders in seven other key verticals: corporate, health care, K-12 education, higher education, house of worship (HOW), retail and restaurants and bars.

The hospitality market includes hotels/motels, convention and conference centers, casinos, and cruise ships. The magazine’s editors highlighted our work for Ritz Carlton (see pic), in which our company installed, programmed and integrated thirteen Crestron Control systems and panels within the Ritz’s large ballroom. This helped allow for optimal audio performance in any desired layout of tables and chairs in the ballroom. Combined with a Crestron DSP Audio system, Ritz Carlton gained the competitive advantage to work with any sized event.

CI’s editors cited some of the factors by a successful integrator like CCS in the hospitality market. These included having a broad technical understanding of a wide range of system types and end-user needs. Our marketing manager Julie Solomon echoed those thoughts: “We have been fortunate to work with some great clients that trust us to expand on their vision and engineer systems utilizing the latest technology available,” she told CI, adding “Communication and flexibility are two of the most important qualities for success. Start with a good plan in place and a great team behind you, but be flexible enough to contend with whatever comes your way.”

What level of service can you expect from CCS? John Lynch, Director of Information Systems of Medical Professional Associates (MedPro) of Phoenix, Arizona, explains the CCS difference, “From my first contact with CCS, the willingness to understand and meet our needs was apparent. Prior to making any specific recommendations, the sales representative took the time to research our projection system requirements and our facilities. MedPro was able to make the wisest possible decision from a selection of viable solutions that balance capabilities and cost. CCS is clearly committed to building long-term customer relationships based on value-added service that always goes the extra mile. What CCS promises, CCS delivers.

Kent Duffy, elaborates on the district’s selection of CCS as the provider of presentation equipment and services. “Competitive pricing is only the beginning of MCCD requirements. Over the past three years, CCS provided 80 projectors and built 12 teacher workstations. The number of installations overwhelmed many of the potential bidders for our projector business. CCS is one of the few companies with the skill and the resources to successfully tackle a challenge such as the 23 installations they completed in less than 90 days.”Duffy was equally enthusiastic about CCS Presentation Systems from a service viewpoint, “Our CCS account representative does more than respond to questions or requests. I receive regular courtesy calls just to confirm my continued satisfaction. Value-added services like extended factory warranties or the rapid replacement of key equipment becomes part of the total service package we enjoy with CCS.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Rian since 1999 and have worked with him on all our audio/visual needs, including design, integration, and installation of our corporate boardroom, office and home theatre systems. Rian is without a doubt the most knowledgeable, accomplished and experienced professional in the audio/visual technology industry that I have ever encountered. Rian has always demonstrated quality and professionalism in his dealings with our company.

We are a very large real estate developer and CCS brought to us this idea of, what we call a megawall. It is four 60″ plasma display screens and stands 7 feet tall. We have seven other LCD monitors around the room with speakers above them. The system is activated when you step on a pressure sensitive pad in the carpet. The system is totally amazing. CCS Presentation Systems answered all of our questions and were responsive to our needs. Working with CCS was a very good experience from the beginning to the very end. They didn’t leave me hanging once and I appreciate that.

I was incredibly pleased with the installation. I have purchased a great deal of equipment for the library from a wide variety of companies, and your team at CCS is the best I’ve ever dealt with. The guys did such a great job on the install and answered all of my many questions. I can’t tell you how impressed our staff is with the new system and install; my library schedule is filling up fast with teachers who are anxious to use the new system. I am extremely happy with everything and will certainly continue to recommend you to our staff.
